Prisoner Visitation and Support (PVS) is the only organization authorized by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Defense to visit any prisoner in the Federal and Military prison systems. The primary focus is on seeing those prisoners with an acute need for human contact -- those prisoners without regular visits, those serving long sentences who are far from home, those in solitary confinement and on death row, and those who are frequently transferred from prison to prison. PVS visitors let the prisoners set the agenda for what they discuss.

This listing is for volunteers that are interested in visiting at FCI Berlin, a federal correctional institution serving male offenders in Berlin, New Hampshire.

Though 143 years old, Webster House just installed its first donor database, Network For Good, four years ago. Over this time the database has been inconsistently managed making accessing data that is essential to Webster House's growth and mission very difficult.  We need help re-organizing the database which requires routine data management and data entry. Admittedly, these tasks are unglamorous but essential to our mission. If you like detailed work, correcting obvious typos and making things consistent and logical (for example - St./Str./ St/ or Street?) then you'll love this volunteer opportunity.

Why should you volunteer with Meals on Wheels?

We all know what it feels like to be lonely - and to be hungry not just for a meal, but for the nourishment that comes from personal connection. That’s where you and Meals on Wheels come in. By becoming a volunteer, you’ll deliver a meal, provide a friendly visit, and offer a safety check to homebound and disabled adults who may not have contact with another person all day. You’ll join more than 250 local volunteers working collectively throughout Hillsborough County to make sure the older adults who took care of us aren’t forgotten, hungry or alone. It doesn’t take much from each of us to improve the lives of so many. Together, we can make a huge difference for the homebound and disabled adults in our community.

Just a few hours of your assistance, one day per week, typically between 9:30 am and 12:00 pm can help your neighbors remain healthy and live independently at home.

**We have an immediate need for drivers on Tuesdays.**

Volunteer individually or as a part of a team on a rotating cycle. Training is provided. Please call Sean at 603-424-9967 or email volunteers@hcmow.org for more information.

We are seeking a few dedicated volunteers to assist with sorting holiday cards that will be sent to members of the military serving overseas. These cards are thoughtfully created by school children as part of a program run by the local organization, Holiday Cards 4 Our Military Challenge.

In addition to counting the cards, volunteers will help carefully review each one to ensure the messages and artwork are appropriate and respectful for sending abroad. This important step helps us bring cheer year-round while honoring the service and sacrifice of our troops.

Join the Board of Trustees of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum

Looking for a board role where your experience, perspective, and judgment truly make a difference?

The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum (MKIM) is seeking engaged, thoughtful leaders—professionals, retirees, and community members alike—to join its Board of Trustees at an important moment of growth and transition. This is an opportunity to contribute real leadership, not a ceremonial title, to an organization with statewide cultural significance.

MKIM serves as a living center for Native history, artistic expression, and contemporary voices in New Hampshire, a state with no Federally or State-recognized Native tribes and no reservation lands. Each year, approximately 8,000 visitors, including 2000 schoolchildren, engage with Native culture through our exhibitions, programs, and events.

MKIM has put itself on solid financial footing.  Now the museum has the freedom to think bigger.  This is a moment to reimagine what MKIM can become - new programs, new partnerships, new ways of bringing Native voices, culture, and wisdom to the public.  Trustees joining now will help turn that creative energy into experiences that deepen impact and expand who the museum reaches.  Whether you are in the midst of your career or bring a lifetime of experience, this is a chance to make a real contribution.

We are seeking Trustees who are ready to be active contributors.

Trustees are expected to:

Prepare for and participate actively in monthly Board meetings

Serve on at least one committee and take ownership of projects

Provide oversight on finances, strategy, and major decisions

Support fundraising and donor relationship-building

Attend events and serve as ambassadors for the Museum

Advise and support the Executive Director in implementing strategy

Average commitment: 4–8 hours per month (with flexibility for deeper involvement)

Monthly Board meetings (primarily virtual; two in-person meetings annually in Warner, NH)

Three-year terms; up to two consecutive terms

There is no required minimum gift. Trustees are asked to make MKIM a philanthropic priority and to give annually at a level meaningful to them. Full Board participation in giving is essential to institutional credibility.

Experience in finance, legal, development, IT, or digital marketing is welcome—but commitment, curiosity, and a willingness to engage matter most. Interest in Native history and contemporary Native issues is important; prior expertise is helpful but not required.

Trustee positions are volunteer and unpaid.

To learn more or express interest, please contact
Laura Colcord, Board Chair at boardchair@indianmuseum.org

ACTS - Assistance Canine Training Services raises and trains service dogs for people with mobility disabilities and for facilities that use dogs for animal assisted therapy. ACTS is a volunteer driven organization and at the center of the program are the puppy raisers.

All weekly required puppy raiser trainings are held at Telling Tails Training Center, Center Conway, NH or in the greater Mount Washington Valley (North Conway).  All puppy raisers must attend these trainings.

Short Term Puppy Raising

2-6 month time commitment

Generally, paired with a puppy that is ~8-10 weeks old

Possibility to become full term puppy raiser

Long Term Puppy Raising

18-24 month time commitment, varies depending on age of dog when paired

Puppy raisers commit up to two years to the socialization and training of a puppy. They generally receive puppies at the age of eight weeks, although occasionally puppy raisers may receive older puppies. The commitment involves a willingness to learn, spend time in training classes, spend time socializing the puppy in public places, and a great deal of heart.

Puppies live in puppy raiser homes as a part of the family. They must learn how to behave both at home and out in public. Training and socialization are very important and raisers must be willing to work with puppies using the guidelines set forth by ACTS.

We consider puppy raising to be not only an individual endeavor, but also a group project. We practice in group classes and puppy raisers are encouraged to enjoy the company and assistance of other raisers by practicing in teams or in small groups.  Each ACTS volunteer is considered an important part of every graduating team whether they were the puppy raiser or not. Everyone is invited to attend graduation and celebrate the teams that complete their training.

Sometimes our puppies let us know that they are not suited for service dog or facility therapy dog work, in which case they are placed as either as Detection Dogs (explosive, narcotics, electronics or arson) or Dream Dogs (adoptable pet dogs) with appropriate families. Our ACTS family is proud of all of our dogs and we celebrate the placement of each of them.

Puppy raising can be one of the most fulfilling volunteer opportunities available. Seeing how the life of an individual can be changed by a dog is an amazing experience. In addition to the joy that is seen in the end-product, puppy raisers grow and learn in their dog training skills. They create new and often long-lasting friendships. They meet and work with some wonderful dogs. And finally, there is that feeling that can only come from giving of yourself and your time to others.

Puppy raisers must be at least 15 years of age.

No prior experience is required. We provide on the job training!

Puppy raisers are NOT responsible for expenses relating to dog food, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and veterinary care.

For a full list of puppy raiser requirements and to apply to be a puppy raiser, please visit https://www.assistancecanine.org/about-puppy-raising

Currently there is a high need for reliable volunteers to answer calls on the LGBT National crisis prevention hotlines. Are you a good listener? Are you caring and want to provide a safe space for those who may be extremely isolated and afraid in these current times?

If you are excited in being able to be trained and take on a regular weekly hotline shift we would love for you to apply!

All volunteer opportunities are remote for those in the United States and Canada only. The LGBT National Help Center provides several national crisis prevention hotlines to support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community. Hotline volunteers will take calls and online chats from:

The LGBT National Hotline (all ages)

The LGBT National Youth Talkline (for those 25 and younger)

The LGBT National Senior Hotline (for those 50 and older)

The LGBT National Coming Out Support Hotline (all ages)

The LGBT Online One-to-One Online chat (all ages)

Volunteers provide peer-support, community connections, and local resources to those who have questions or concerns regarding sexuality and/or gender identity, feelings of isolation, bullying and discrimination, coming out, relationships, safer sex, thoughts of suicide and self harm, and much more by offering a safe space to talk and know they will receive respectful and affirming care.

Calls can range from short conversations on finding local resources in their area to conversations on personal journeys of self discovery, fears and isolation. Volunteers do not give advice or tell calls what to do, but offer a space to be open to discuss feelings and emotions on a deeper level and help build the tools that callers never reach a point of crisis on their path forward.

In these rough times many calls can be difficult, self reflection and ability to separate yourself from the calls is extremely important. Having a support system for yourself (along side support from staff and other volunteers) is highly valued to combat possible burn out.

Volunteers selected will go through several months of training before taking calls on their own.

Hotline volunteer requirements include:

-identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ community

-Age 21 or older

-Ability to take calls/chats remotely through internet connectivity.

-Having reliable internet access

-Have a quiet and isolated space to take confidential calls while on shift.

-Able to commit to one three hour shift a week for at least twelve months after completing training.

Currently all remote volunteer positions require being located in the United States or Canada.

Applications can be found at lgbthotline.org/hotline-application

We plant, weed (and weed some more!), fertilize, harvest, wash, and crate thousands of pounds of vegetables. Over the past several years, we have increased the acreage (now at multiple sites!), productivity, and variety of produce we grow—from the ordinary (peas and carrots) to slightly more exotic (ground cherries and watermelon). We provide all the necessary training and tools but frequently volunteers bring their own favorite work gloves, along with water to drink.

Our regular work sessions are: Tuesday mornings 9:00-11:00 am, Thursday afternoons 4:00-6:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am-11:00 am at our garden in East Thetford, VT.; Tuesday afternoons 4:00-6:00 pm at our garden in Norwich, VT; and Wednesday afternoons, 4:00-6:00 pm at our garden in Hanover, NH. We work (light) rain or shine, just not when it is pouring rain or thundering. We call or email if a work session is cancelled due to weather. Volunteers come when they are available, even if it is only occasionally; there are no commitment requirements, but we know you’ll have a great time with this group! To learn more, email volunteer@willinghands.org or go to our website to register as a volunteer and receive our weekly updates about our schedule of opportunities to grow food for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity!

The Friends Program is looking for committed volunteers to provide a safe place for the youth in the greater Concord area to learn and grow. No education or training is required, just a passion for helping children and being a dependable adult that they can trust. Mentors would be matched with kids based on similar interests and backgrounds to ensure the health of the match and to make getting to know each other easier. Matches would meet at least once a week for a total of 2-4 hours a week with regular check ins from staff to see how things are going for both the mentee and mentor. We will be there every step of the way to support both mentor and mentee and make sure that the match is doing well. Perspective candidates would come in for an interview and need to pass a driving record search, criminal background check, and not have any past convictions relating to child abuse or violence. After one year of the match, mentors and mentees can sign a renewal agreement if they would like to continue meeting through the program.
